EU initiates anti-dumping probe on epoxy resin imports; Westlake among complainants
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

- European Commission published notice on July 1, 2024 initiating anti-dumping investigation on epoxy resin imports from China, South Korea, Taiwan, and Thailand.
- Westlake Corp is a member of the Ad Hoc Coalition of Epoxy Resin Producers that confidentially lodged the complaint on June 6, 2024.
- The investigation targets potential unfair pricing of epoxy resins in the EU market, which could lead to tariffs if dumping is found.
- This regulatory action aligns with Westlake's interest in addressing competitive pressures from low-cost imports.
